New MessageePods - can the motherboard be replaced? (modified 0 times) jyrules
Hi,

I got my ePods for over a month now. Did the usual hack and got the Compaq wL200 wireless card to work (it's great using the wireless LAN w/ Terminal Server Client). In general, this is a great device but as some mentioned, the PC is really slow. When browser the web, I come across one of this pocket-size PC (a fun funciton PC w/ USB/Video Out celeron 600, 64MB sDRAM and 10GB HD) It will be wonderful if we can put all this inside our beloved ePods. I love the ePod (and especially its form factor) but it will be great if we can increase its performance. Is it at all possible?? Anyone knows where we can find this tiny motherboards??

too many technical problems with that to begin listing them all, not to mention cost. hang out and pick up one of the announced webpads later this year.

my epod is great for what it does. in combo w/ terminal server and wireless ethernet, i can't want for anything else.

Oh yes, that interesting device, jyrules, is called a laptop. You can get one very cheaply on the web rather than building it yourself.
